The Minister of the Interior described the comments made by participants in the mobilization for International Women’s Day as “scandalous”.
Gérald Darmanin decided on Sunday to take legal action after calls to kill police officers heard during the feminist demonstration on March 8 in Paris. “Kerosene is not for planes, it’s for burning cops”protesters chanted during this rally as part of International Women’s Day.
Several videos relaying these slogans were broadcast on social networks. The general secretary of the SGP Police Unit, Grégory Joron, reported these calls to the minister on Sunday morning, according to the police union, who decided to take legal action.
In a message posted on X (formerly Twitter), Gérald Darmanin describes these remarks as “scandalous”. “I contact the Paris public prosecutor”he writes, adding: “Everything will be done to find those responsible for this incitement to commit a crime”.
